“And this is my prayer: that your love may increase ever more
and more in knowledge and every kind of perception, to discern
what is of value…” (PHILIPPIANS 1:9-10)
Glittery holiday ads can blind us to our stewardship values and
distort our needs and wants. It is important that during this season
of endless buying we remember that each of us also has the need
to give back to God and to those that are in need.

3rd Sunday of Advent - Bambinelli Sunday For the past several decades, the Pope has blessed the Baby Jesus
figurines from Nativity Scenes that belong to families, and the
families themselves, in St. Peter’s Square in Rome. The blessing
takes place on Gaudete Sunday, the third Sunday of Advent. The
blessing of the ‘Bambinelli’ – as they are known in Rome –
reminds us that the Nativity scene is a school of life where we can
learn the secrets of true joy. All are invited to bring your Baby
Jesus figurines from your homes to Mass on Sunday, Dec. 16th at
the 9am & 11am Masses to be blessed as we too celebrate our
own Bambinelli Sunday. After the blessing you are encouraged to
take your ‘Bambinelli’ home and place it in a gift box, wrap the
box and save it for Christmas. Let this be the first gift you open on
Christmas day - as you lay Jesus in the Manger, allow this
moment to be a reminder of the great blessings we receive at
Christmas.
Sanctuary Lamps Offerings The 2 Red Sanctuary Lamps beside the Tabernacle will burn for 7
days & can be offered for a loved one. Please visit the Parish
Office to set-up your offering.
